NATURAL HISTORY SURVEY 93 



Spores brownish-purple, 10 x 5 to 6 /A. Pileus 5 to 7.5 cm. 

 broad; stem 5 cm. long, 6 to 8 mm. thick. 



On the ground in woods. Glencoe, Warren ville, Bartlett. 

 September and October. Lamellae adnate, sinuate, easily 

 separating from the stem, light-yellow in the young plant; flesh 

 of pileus and stem yellowish slowly turning to brownish when cut. 

 Stem clothed like the pileus up to the obsolete ring, white-pruinose 

 above it. 



Hypholoma Candolleanum Fr. 



Pileus date-brown becoming white, vertex somewhat ochra- 

 ceous, somewhat fleshy, acorn-shaped then campanulate, soon 

 convex and at length flattened, obtuse and unequal, smooth, 

 even. Veil appendiculate, white, at length becoming fuscous. 



Lamellae rounded-adnexed, then separating, crowded, viola- 

 ceous, then fuscous-cinnamon, the edge at first whitish. 



Stem fistulose at the apex, solid at the base, somewhat thick- 

 ened, fibrillose, white, striate at the apex. 



Pileus 5 to 10 cm. broad; stem 7.5 cm. long, 4 to 8 mm. thick. 

 Densely cespitose, fragile, very hygrophanous. 



Gregarious in short grass in lawns under trees, after rains. 

 Spring to autumn. Mcllvane notes that "the gills are cream- 

 colored at first, then purplish, then very dark." H. incertum Peck, 

 seems to be very near this. 



Hypholoma appendiculatum Bull. 



Pileus date-brown then tawny, becoming ochrey-pale when 

 dry, fleshy-membranaceous, thin, ovate then expanded, at length 

 flattened, obtuse, smooth, when dry slightly wrinkled, somewhat 

 sprinkled with atoms; veil fringing the margin of the pileus, 

 fugacious, white. 



Lamellae somewhat adnate, crowded, arid, white then flesh- 

 colored, at length fuscous. 



Stem fistulose, equal, smooth, white, pruinate at the apex. 



Pileus 5 to 10 cm. broad; stem 7.5 cm. long, 4 to 6 mm. thick. 



Densely cespitose, very fragile and hygrophanous, much 

 thinner and more fragile than H. Candolleanum. (Stevenson.) 



About old stumps in woods. 

 Hypholoma subaquilum Banning. 



Pileus brown, convex, smooth, hygrophanous, often shaded 

 into ochre at the margin, veil delicate, silk-like, encircling and 

 covering the marginal extremities of the lamellae but forming no 

 ring on the stem; flesh white, turning umber when cut. 



Lamellae adnexed or nearly free, close, forked, umber. 



Stem cespitose, regular, hollow, silky, white. 



In dense cespitose clusters in a woodland pasture. War- 

 renville. September and October. Lamellae watery-cinnamon, 

 becoming umber; veil woven, concealing the lamellae in the young 

 plant, soon disappearing; stem pruinate at the apex. Pileus
